No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge!

roshydoshy

Kaz2904 that is such a good idea!

I did that with the suppliments I bought my horse, more out of interest than anything else !!!

I used up a whole mini dove bodywash with oil this morning - I poured some on the sponge, and it smelt so disgusting I couldnt bear the thought of having to use it again, so I used the lot !!! It was a freebee through the post... WIBA ?? Heck no !!!

oh - someone was asking about the fab pore face mask - I use it - prefer it to the Scrub your nose in it, for some reason my face feels really burny when I use SYNII as a mask, so I dont use it for that very often. TFP is much kinder to leave on for a while. Wont be buying either again next though - plan to buy the Benefit scrub, I had a sample given to me when I bought the cleanser and moisturiser, and I love it !!!

(also, another off topic report - he rang me tonight, swears blind hes not been avoiding me.... hmmm, we shall see !!!!)

I thought I would be able to report some use ups tonight but no joy. Lots of things are at splutter stage though. Watch this space!

Lol at splutter stage!!! My S&G Daily Smooth is starting to splutter, which is a shame as I really like it. I will be scraping every last drop out of the tube!!

I know its late folks but I have just remembered that I needed your help! I am going to London for the weekend tomorrow and I seem to remember someone mentioning a Boots outlet shop. Off Oxford Street?? Or did i just make it up? If you know what I'm talking about I would be very grateful for some info. I know I've set a no spend challenge but I need some sun stuff for when we go away - 3rd May - and I thought it may be worth having a look. Any info gratefully accepted. Thank you and good night everyone - sleep well.

Thanks Kaz and glad the eye's a bit better. But groan!! I have a £25 Boots gift card to use. I need P&P night cream soon.

I still have 2 day creams from the previous 3 for 2 promotion. I don't use the serum. So buy the set for £31 (£15.50 each, offset by the profit from the ebaying the serum, but will still carry forward 2 spare day creams) Or buy 3 night creams on the 3 for 2 for £41 (or £13.37 each) which will see me through to September with a spare night cream in hand. Or just buy 1 night cream with the gift card for £20.50, which will then technically be a no-spend??

Plus there's another damn free gift on over £22 spend with another one of thosedamn mimi mascaras with the stupid plastic wand and some random eye-shadows I don't want or need. Excuse me, Mr |Boots can I just have another couple of quid off the price instead?!!

I think my stars must be in a strange alignment today, I'm rarely in such an indecisive state!!

ETA Oh the free gift does have a sample P&P eye cream in though!!

Erm, not sure what you should do, but thought i'd point out that i coudl get a voucher out of the ACM today for 200pts when buying a No 7 P&P cream...

Thanks but help!

Embarassed to admit it but I'm such an amateur Bootser.............I've already got some still valid vouchers that came with the mailing a little while ago......a 150points on spend of over £20 and a double points voucher. I think I can use those 2 together can't I? Am planning to buy the £31 offer, so that would be classed as one item.


Could I use the ACM voucher too? Are they given out to everyone? I've never used that machine before for a voucher and have no plans for any further significant spends in Boots before my little mailshot vouchers expire 18/5/10. Also I've got a £25 gift card, I'm sure it is OK to use the vouchers with this isn't it?

TIA:T

I've just finished an Elle Macpherson handcream from the black 'everything' bag (Boots 75% sale Jan 2009) wiba? umm, no as it was too thick & sticky

Started using up a Boots 'Rose' handcream that's been by the bed since last year ( I'm glad I don't do sleep moisturising anymore )

Had to spend some money though: 2x mouthwash, a spray deodorant & a roll-on deo, grand total £1.71 this monthy so far :j
(mouthwash was 50p each, the deos were an experiment into MrT's value range).

Erm, I'm not a massive bootser either, but i think you shoudl be ok to use all the vouchers - I've done something similar in the past. And if you use the gift card I'd hand over all the vouchers first, let the SA scan them, then hand over the no 7 £5 voucher (if you have one), then finally the gift card. Hopefully that would be ok, but there might be a much more experienced Bootser out there who can confirm.

I don't think everyone gets the sames stuff from the machine, but no harm in looking.
